witnessed event #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

I need a term "witnessed loss of consciousness". It isn't a symptom,
because it has to be witnessed by somebody else than the patient, but it
doesn't have to be a sign, as it doesn't have to be witnessed by a
clinician (though it could be)

I suspect that OGMS would want a more general term "witnessed event" for
example. Maybe having "witnessed event" as a process realizing the witness
role, and that also has_input an organism which does not bear that role?

Any suggestions?

Ps: my use case, if it helps: seizure level 1 is defined by the Brighton
collaboration as being "witnessed sudden loss of consciousness AND
generalized, tonic, clonic, tonic–clonic, or atonic motor manifestations."

This could still fit in as a symptom. A patient can report an episode of loss 
of consciousness as something like 'I 
fainted in school today and was unconscious for about 10 minutes. My friends 
all saw this but I have no 
recollection of it'.
